acv@Job:12:1 @ Then Job answered and said,

acv@Job:12:2 @ No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

acv@Job:12:3 @ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who does not know such things as these?

acv@Job:12:4 @ I am as a man who is a laughing-stock to his neighbor. I who called upon God, and he answered. The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.

acv@Job:12:5 @ In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for those whose foot slips.

acv@Job:12:6 @ The tents of robbers prosper, and those who provoke God are secure. Into whose hand God brings [abundantly].

acv@Job:12:7 @ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee.

acv@Job:12:8 @ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee, and the fishes of the sea shall declare to thee.

acv@Job:12:9 @ Who does not know in all these, that the hand of LORD has wrought this,

acv@Job:12:10 @ in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?

acv@Job:12:11 @ Does not the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?

acv@Job:12:12 @ With aged men is wisdom, and in length of days understanding.

acv@Job:12:13 @ With [God] is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.

acv@Job:12:14 @ Behold, he breaks down, and it cannot be built again. He shuts up a man, and there can be no opening.

acv@Job:12:15 @ Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.

acv@Job:12:16 @ With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his.

acv@Job:12:17 @ He leads counselors away stripped, and he makes judges fools.

acv@Job:12:18 @ He loosens the bond of kings, and he binds their loins with a belt.

acv@Job:12:19 @ He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.

acv@Job:12:20 @ He removes the speech of the trustworthy, and takes away the understanding of the elders.

acv@Job:12:21 @ He pours contempt upon rulers, and weakens the strength of the strong.

acv@Job:12:22 @ He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.

acv@Job:12:23 @ He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.

acv@Job:12:24 @ He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

acv@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light, and he makes them to stagger like a drunken man.
